PREFACE

This is the second in a series of reports that NCAER, the National Council of

Applied Economic Research, has been doing on detailed tourism satellite accounts for

the states and union territories of India. With the tremendous growth of the Indian

service sector, tourism as a location-specific economic activity is important at the sub-

national level. This is true for both tourism’s contribution to national income and to

employment. With 29 states, many larger in population than most countries in the

world, it is important to measure tourism activity within states through the compilation

of State Tourism Satellite Accounts (TSAs). State TSAs go well beyond a national TSA

in providing the direct and indirect contribution of tourism to state GDP and

employment using state-specific demand and supply data.

TSAs at the sub-national level are becoming increasingly important. The United

Nations World Tourism Organisation has emphasised the many reasons for

encouraging countries to develop sub-national or regional TSAs. One reason is the

worldwide trend towards decentralisation of political power and management of

national resources in states, regions and municipalities. In order to allocate and

monitor these resources effectively, more and better-integrated regional and local

information is required. Tourism activity inevitably has an unequal geographical

distribution and characteristics within a national territory, and understanding this

requires tourism statistics at different territorial levels. Improving the allocation of

resources and regulating markets in sensible ways for a sector with such diversity can

only be achieved by upgrading data and measuring economic impact at the sub-

regional level.

NCAER was commissioned by the Ministry of Tourism in the Government of India

in 2013 to compile Regional Tourism Satellite Accounts for all the states and UTs of

India for the base year 2009–10 in order to have a more complete understanding of the

tourism sector. NCAER has earlier compiled both the first and second national TSAs

for India. NCAER’s first report covered Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Jammu &

Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan, Sikkim, Tripura, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal. This

report covers Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand,

Karnataka, Maharashtra, Odisha, Puducherry, and Uttar Pradesh

In the absence of standard international guidelines to prepare sub-national TSAs,

NCAER has compiled the state TSAs along the same lines as the national TSA,

overcoming several data limitations in the process. These limitations have been

overcome by using the most logical rates and ratios based on reasonable assumptions.

How households of different Socio-Economic background spend on tourism

A comparative study based on Domestic Tourism Survey, 2008-09

1. Introduction

These days tourism is a way of life for everybody. The prime objective of tourism is to

take time out for recreation, visiting relatives/friends or pilgrimage etc. irrespective of the

Socio-Economic characteristics like caste, religion, gender, age, income class or occupation

group that a tourist might belong to. But the preferences for tourism activities, destinations

and expenses incurred on travel might vary across these characteristics.

The purpose of this study is to present the pattern of expenditure incurred on domestic

tourism across the tourist-households’ socio-economic characteristics. There are some

insights available on number of tourists by gender and age but there is a complete void of

information on spending pattern of tourists by the various socio-economic characteristics.

Such information was collected in the pan-India household survey on “Domestic Tourism in

India”, which was conducted by the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) during

2008-09. This report presents some of the key findings of this survey that help us meet the

objectives of this study.

2. Context of the study

Domestic tourism is a huge and ever-growing phenomenon in India. Despite this, the

tourism sector has failed to get as much attention from the research perspective as has many

other economic sectors of India, mostly because of the huge dearth of data. Realising this,

the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, took an initiative to fill this data void to a

great extent by conducting two comprehensive surveys on “Domestic Tourism in India” and

“International Passenger Survey”, the data of which have been extensively used in the

preparation of India’s Tourism Satellite Account and even the State Tourism Satellite

Accounts.

National Council of Applied Economic Research 2

The present study, commissioned by the Ministry of Tourism to NCAER, analyses

these data to prepare a report on “How households of different Socio-Economic background

spend on tourism – A comparative study using Domestic Tourism Survey”. This report is a

part of the second phase of the “3-year integrated plan for preparation of regional TSAs for

all states and UTs of India and two research topics for each year” that was commissioned to

NCAER by MoT in October 2013.

3. Objectives of the Study

As desired, the study aims to present and compare the spending pattern of tourists

belonging to different socio-economic categories. The socio-economic variables for which

data are available are as follows:

Gender

Age

Marital Status

Religion

Social Group

Household Type

Educational level

Usual Principal Status

Profession / Occupation

Industry of employment

The item-wise expenditure incurred by tourists belonging to the household variables are

presented in this report.

4. About Data Source

“Domestic Tourism in India” is an all-India household survey on domestic tourism

(DTS 2008-09), carried out during the period July 2008 to June 2009 by National Sample

Survey Organisation (NSSO) as part of its 65th Round of sample surveys. This was the first

time that such comprehensive survey on domestic tourism was undertaken by NSSO.

A comparative study of domestic Tourism survey, 2008-09

National Council of Applied Economic Research 3

A stratified multi-stage sampling design was adopted for the DTS 2008-09. The first

stage units (FSU) were the 2001 census villages in rural sector and urban frame survey

blocks in the urban sector. For larges FSUs, an intermediate stage of sampling was the

division of the FSU into a number of parts and random selection of one part for survey. The

ultimate stage sampling units were the households. In all, 1,53,038 households were

surveyed from 8109 sample villages and 4719 urban blocks spread over all states and union

territories of India. Of the total households, 97,074 (63 per cent) belonged to the rural areas

and 56,234 to urban areas.

A detailed schedule of enquiry was used to collect data from the sample households

on various parameters like household characteristics comprising household size, principal

industry, principal occupation, household type, religion, social group, household

consumption expenditure, number of overnight trips and same-day trips undertaken by the

household, visits of NRIs to the households and their impact, renting out of some portion of

the house to tourists during the last 365 days, and awareness, source of information, and

impact of the “Incredible India” campaign by the Government of India or other tourism

promotional campaigns. Data were also collected for each household member on age,

gender, marital status, educational level, usual principal activity status, industry and

occupation of employed members, number of overnight as well as same-day trips completed

during last 30 days and last 365 days.

For each trip, various trip characteristic data were also collected. These included

leading purpose of the trip, main destination, number of places visited, mode of travel, type

of stay, number of nights spent outside usual place of residence and so on. Finally, for the

latest three overnight trips completed during the last 30 days, detailed data were collected on

particulars of expenditure on different items under the heads of accommodation, food and

drink, transport, shopping, recreation, religious, cultural, sporting and health-related

activities, and other expenditures along with information of reimbursement/direct payment

by any institution for such trips.

5. Important concepts/definitions used in DTS

Trip A trip refers to the movement by one or more household members

travelling to a place outside their usual environment for purposes other

than those of migration or getting employed or setting up of residence

in that place and which is outside their regular routine of life, for a

duration of not more than six months.

Domestic

Visitor

A domestic visitor is a household member, who has completed a ‘trip’.

In other words, a domestic visitor is a person (household member),

residing in the country, who travels to a place within the country,

outside his or her usual environment and not as a part of his or her

regular routine of life, for duration of not more than six months at a

time.

Further, domestic visitors are classified into two categories: domestic

overnight visitors and domestic same-day visitors. A domestic

overnight visitor is a domestic visitor who spent at least one night in a

trip during last 365 days. This means that the trip covered at least two

calendar days, wholly or partly. A domestic same-day visitor is a

domestic visitor who did not spend even a single night in any trip

during last 365 days. This means that the trip started and ended on the

same day.

Since it is difficult to distinguish domestic tourists from other

travellers who are travelling within the boundary of the country of

reference, it is important to identify them by carefully looking into

their purpose and duration of travel. This requires a little more

scrutiny and it must be noted that:

All movements of persons commuting regularly and frequently

(nearly every day/every week/every fortnight) between their

A comparative study of domestic Tourism survey, 2008-09

National Council of Applied Economic Research 5

usual environment and some fixed places for the purpose of

work or study, visiting homes of friends or relatives, shopping

centres, religious places, centres of health care or any other

facilities that might be at a substantial distance away but

nevertheless were regularly and frequently visited were not

considered as trips.

Similarly, all movements of persons, whose nature of activities

within their regular routine of life involved making movements

outside their usual environment to different places, like

travelling salesmen, mobile hawkers, medical representatives,

on-board staff of airlines/railways or of buses, hired taxis, etc.

were not considered as trips.

Exceptions for exclusion from the coverage of trip as mentioned

above were all domestic movements performed by air except for

the purpose of migration or getting employed or setting up of

residence in that place were considered as trips even if such

movements fall within the regular routine of life of the visitor.

However, domestic movements performed by on-board aircraft

crew as part of their duty were not considered as trips.

Leading purpose

of the trip

This is defined as the purpose in the absence of which the trip would

not have taken place. Leading purpose for all the members who are

performing a trip is that purpose without which none of the members

in that trip would have undertaken the trip. Clearly, the leading

purpose of a trip will be the same for all the members who undertook

that trip. In DTS – 2008-09, these purposes have been identified as

below:

Business - This category includes trips of employees of

Government, public or private organisations or of self-

employed people, trips for installation of equipment,

A comparative study of domestic Tourism survey, 2008-09

National Council of Applied Economic Research 6

inspection, purchase and sale for enterprise; for attending

conferences, congresses, trade fairs and exhibitions; for

delivering lectures or concerts; for participation in professional

sport activities, etc. For example: Official tours of government

officials posted outside Delhi to attend occasional official

meetings at Delhi.

Holidaying, leisure and recreation - This category includes

sightseeing, attending sporting and cultural events, non-

professional active sports, adventure sports, recreational

activities, cultural activities, holidays at beaches and hill

stations, summer camps, dining out, visiting spas and other

establishments specialized in well-being, fitness except in the

context of a medical treatment (in which case the purpose

would be health & medical), etc.

Social (including visiting friends and relatives, attending

marriages, etc.) - This category includes visiting friends and

relatives, attending marriages/ any other family events/ other

social functions, visiting home towns, visits to arrange short-

term caring for the baby, sick or old; etc.

Pilgrimage & religious activities - This category includes

attending various religious meetings and events, and

undertaking pilgrimages to different places of worship or holy

places.

Education & training - This category includes trips to join

short-term courses (less than six months) following particular

programs of study, education and research programming,

acquiring specific skills through formal on-the-job training

including paid study, etc. For example, the trip of a professional

academician (e.g. college lecturer/school teacher) for acquiring

A comparative study of domestic Tourism survey, 2008-09

National Council of Applied Economic Research 7

a certain academic qualification would come under this

category. However, if his trip primarily involves delivering

academic lectures then the purpose of his trip was reported not

as education and training but as business.

Health & medical - This category includes trips to spa, fitness

and health resorts, treatments and cures, Ayurvedic and other

health resorts of traditional medicines, etc., for getting short-

term (less than six months) medical treatment.

Shopping - This category includes purchasing of consumer

goods for own personal use or as gifts but not for resale or for

use in a future productive process (in which case the purpose

would be business). For example, in many places in our

country people visit some nearby city/town or market place

primarily for the purpose of purchasing consumer goods

during festivals like Puja, Diwali, Eid, Christmas, etc. or

during social functions like marriages, birthdays, etc., in their

households. For such trips the purpose was taken as shopping.

But if a shopkeeper undertakes a trip to a city/town to make

wholesale purchase for retail selling then the purpose of his

trip was taken as business and not shopping.

Others - This category includes purposes which are not

indicated elsewhere. For example, making a trip to render

some social service, such as attending a blood donation camp

to donate blood, comes under this category.

Domestic

Tourism

Domestic tourism covers all the trips of household members within the

territory of India, i.e. of domestic visitors, either as a domestic trip or

as part of an international trip.

A comparative study of domestic Tourism survey, 2008-09

National Council of Applied Economic Research 8

Tourism

Expenditure

This refers to the total expenditure incurred on a trip undertaken by a

domestic visitor. This includes expenditure made not just during the

trip but also the expenditure related to the trip even if made before or

after the trip. It also includes expenditure related to the trip, whether

directly paid or reimbursed, by some institution like Government or

other agencies on behalf of the selected household.

Trip duration

This refers to the average night spent out of usual place of stay by

visitors including time of travelling.

6. Incidence of trips by Socio-Economic categories

The data suggests that the incidence of trips undertaken in a year by persons in rural

areas and by those in urban areas does not vary much. The average number of overnight

trips made by a rural person was estimated at 2.10 while for urban person, it was 2.07. Both

rural males and urban males, on an average, undertake more trips than rural females and

urban females respectively. Incidence of overnight trips is observed the highest amongst Sikh

persons in rural areas (2.37) and amongst Jains (2.34) in urban areas. While analyzing

incidence of trips by age groups of the visitors, highest trips per person is made by those

belonging to 30-59 years of age-groups (rural: 2.47, urban:2.33); and this is followed by

persons belonging to 15-29 years age-group (rural: 2.13, urban: 2.02). The effect of some

socio-economic characteristics on incidence of trips is presented in Table 1.

7. Average duration of overnight trips

The average number of nights spent on overnight trips was about 3 for the rural

population and about 4 for the urban. However, the average duration of overnight trips
